Event description

Description

User testing designs through prototyping helps us to safely explore risky ideas, get a feel for how real people will respond to our designs and most importantly lets us fail cheaply and privately instead of publicly and expensively.

But how many users do we need? How do we identify what to test? How do we know the way we designed and ran the test is producing valid results? How do we recruit people? How do we integrate user testing into a project without adding unsustainable expense and time to a project?

This 6 hour course teaches current best practice for user testing digital products and services. It gives you hands on experience of designing and running effective user testing sessions suitable for both new designs and existing products and services.

It covers:

Current user testing theory

How to identify when user testing is required

Common user testing techniques

Identifying the most appropriate technique for your needs

How to ascertain the number of users you need for valid results

How to recruit users

How to design effective tests

Common prototyping tools

Using modern prototyping tools

How to create prototypes

How to interpret test results

You get practical experience in:

Identifying areas for testing

Designing user tests

Creating low fidelity paper prototypes

Creating prototypes using a modern prototyping tool

Running user tests

Interpreting test results

Iterating your design based on your test results
